Loose enough to get an index finger under band. Wrist fluctuates in size too much during day to put on "tight".

Prefer it minimally tight.
But since I'm both active and have a desk job, it's never just perfect.

Pretty tight. Don't like the "bracelet" feel of a loose watch. And I always wear it above the wrist bone.

Wrist shape is an individual thing and I don't like it migrating to the outside of the wrist so i wear it kind of tight.

OH AND WAIT....I shave/trim the hair on my wrist so the wrist shots don't have wandering hairs on the case.

I have to fit my pinky underneath the clasp, loose but not hanging enough to flop around. I hate when my bracelet sticks.

Just loose enough my little finger can go under the clasp. Having it loose will damage the links more.

What a beautiful watch. I was offered a GP in trade the other day and I thought it was too dressy. But really considering after seeing your watch(I believe it was the 1942 time only model w/blue dial)

I am wearing a watch that fits properly (the index finger goes under the bracelet, but only the first part of it is bent). When the paw is swollen, I use the easylink, and it's comfortable again.
And definitely behind the ankle from the wrist, never at the hand, because it looks bad and is not comfortable.

Tight-ish. I hate to feel my watch loose.

I have to say, my friend, you have the most exquisite taste in watches, a quite wonderful collection.

Shaving ones wrist though, hmmm.

I use the "enough space for a pinky" rule. Served me well through the years.

Between wrist bone and hand. Easy to read the time without pulling my shirt/coat sleeve up.
Pinky or index finger barely fits under band.
